The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, both between levels and during gameplay. While some users appreciate the option to pay a small fee to remove ads, the general consensus is that the frequency and intrusiveness of ads significantly detract from the overall gaming experience, leading to many players uninstalling the game. A few users noted that the ads are skippable or minimal, but these comments are in the minority compared to the widespread complaints about ad overload.
“Very entertaining, unlimited cannons, no in-app purchases for extra life and all.”
“Love this game, so much that I bought the no ads version.”
“Actually a decent game that doesn't spam you with ads and in-app purchases.”
“Once I reached level 7 stage 1, it became unplayable because of ad banners in the game. It was bad enough with the ads you had to watch between levels or if you wanted to restart a level, but putting ads in the gameplay is ridiculous. I'll be uninstalling before I pay to remove ads.”
“The ads are ridiculous! Every single level has an ad before it, and the levels last 30 seconds, which means 1 to 2 ads every minute of playtime.”
“The constant ads on top of the screen are annoying. It makes it almost impossible to properly aim.”
